Nicole and Patel were absolutely wonderful in this movie. Nicole looks so young I couldn't imagine her in this role but Nicole pulled it off in a fantastic way.

As an adoptee also adopted to an Australian family when i was 4 This film reallly hit close to home for me. I was only ever able to watch it once with my family in the thextre. because it brought back so much truama and distress and sadness. I hope to one day reconnect with my birth family x i want nothing more.

His scene on the side of the road with Rooney Mara was absolutely wonderful and hit me straight in the heart.

If Dante Basco and Dev Patel ever got married, will Dante be Dante Patel or will Dev be Dev Basco? Your answers, please.

[hannahduggan]

Why do my parents think that Dev Patel is crazy? Somebody please reply to me. It doesn't matter who!

[weasleyo]

Hmmm "throw it away, throw it away great"?!?! Seriously Ricky?! Wow...that's a whole new level of condescending, really. I mean, who are you to decide if parts of a person's mind and soul are worthy of being kept or thrown away? Go ahead, reshoot and rewrite these films yourself. I promise you people will be just as dismissive of your work. Thanks for ruining this interview for me, I only focused on him because I couldn't even listen to you after that. As a writer and editor, if I ever write a film or a TV series and would be asked to come on this show I will make sure that someone who actually respects film interviews me.

[hannahduggan]

My parents really don't like Dev at all.
